• The colors of the carpet were carefully chosen, too. The dragons have blue heads, which symbolizes immortality and advancement. Browns are reminiscent of earth. Surprisingly, water is represented by the color black in Chinese mythology. The symbols of this carpet evoke the elements of earth, water, and the heavenly realms.
